As a freelance Sr. Enterprise Solution Architect / vCTO, I define product roadmaps and architecture for cloud migration and secure connectivity. I design solutions involving DNS routing, secure tunnels, and microsegmentation, and have improved operational efficiency by 30% and system reliability by 80%.

At Secret (Health Care), I established unified security and networking policies across hybrid environments and deployed identity, monitoring, and ingress/egress controls. I also standardized infrastructure runbooks and automation playbooks, reducing risk scores by 35%.

At Conduent, I provided technical leadership for a 26-member development organization and advanced DevSecOps CI/CD initiatives using Git, Jenkins, Puppet, and Terraform. Earlier, at Connection, I designed enterprise networking environments and exceeded revenue and performance targets for nine consecutive quarters.
